Composition of ZooRing food

Since the compositions of the products are not particularly diverse, their quality can be assessed using the example of one of the diets for adult dogs.

Ingredient list and guaranteed analysis of the premium diet Active Dog Standard poultry mix and rice.

Analysis:

Protein – 25%
Fat – 13%
Fiber – 2.4%
Ash – 7.6%

Compound:

Dehydrated poultry, rice, corn germ, wheat, hydrolyzed liver, oils and animal fat, dried beet pulp, fish oil, anhydrous yeast extract (source MOS), lysine monochlorohydrate, anhydrous brewer's yeast extract.

Composition analysis

We analyze the composition using the example of dry food for kittens:

Composition of ZooRing food

In the first position is dehydrated poultry meat. There are two varieties of ZooRing food for kittens - with duck and chicken. Second place was given to corn, for some reason calling it maize. Poultry fat is a standard component of premium and higher grade feeds. It is unclear what hydrolyzed meat proteins the manufacturer used. What kind of wheat fiber is is also unclear. Is it bran or powdered straw? What is anhydrous yeast concentrate?

The following is the composition of the complex of vitamins and minerals. The author of the text classified omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as vitamins. Instead of mineral additives, chemical elements are indicated. For some reason, there was hemoglobin in the feed mixture. Maybe this means some new feed additive unknown to specialists and consumers?

The food was enriched with amino acids, but for some reason methionine + cystine is indicated, although the feed preparation is called DL-methionine. The feed mixture contains a prebiotic, but which one is unclear. Yucca is a natural deodorant that binds ammonia and other foul-smelling fecal metabolites.

Laboratory analysis shows the high energy nutritional value of the feed and the optimal ratio of protein, fat and fiber for a growing organism. But it is impossible to classify food as a super premium class due to the fact that there is no reliable information about the composition of the feed mixture.

Advantages and disadvantages of ZooRing

In accordance with the information provided by the manufacturer and based on the conclusions drawn from the analysis of the composition of ZooRing food, the products of this brand can be characterized as corresponding to the premium category, despite the fact that the manufacturer’s portfolio officially includes professional food.

Advantages of ZooRing food:

availability in the sales network;
low price;
availability of canned food;
the use of dehydrated meat raw materials in the process of creating feed.

Flaws:

Despite the wide range, the composition of the products is the same in many groups.
The statement about the hypoallergenic nature of food is controversial: the presence of corn, wheat and protein raw materials of unknown origin does not give grounds to consider such food safe.
Almost all compositions are not specified in terms of protein and other raw materials (this is indicated by such general concepts as “meat”, “poultry” - it is impossible to say what exactly the manufacturer put in the extruder bowl and in what quantity).
There are too many carbohydrates in the food.
There are artificial additives in the diet.

Advantages and disadvantages

Cat owners note the following advantages of ZooRing nutrition:

Wide range. In addition to dry food, there is wet canned food.
There are more positive reviews than negative ones.

Disadvantages were also noted:

Incomprehensible description of the composition of the feed. Perhaps this is why nutrition does not inspire confidence among consumers and is not widely distributed.
Russian-made food is disguised as foreign food.
Small wholesale is imposed on cat owners. Dry food is sold in packs of 8 bags, canned food in packs of 16.

Conclusions about ZooRing dog food

Comparing all the facts, as well as relying on reviews from dog breeders, two main conclusions can be drawn about the products of the Russian company ZooRing:

This food corresponds to the premium class category and is suitable for feeding healthy animals that do not have allergic reactions to food components.
Feeding dogs with brand products involves supplementing with meat, due to the poor protein composition.

The manufacturer places considerable emphasis on the fact that its product will help maintain the appearance of dogs whose lives are closely connected with their exhibition career. The appearance of the dogs participating in the show requires significant investment, not only in terms of grooming, but also in terms of nutrition, which must be “on point” and meet the dogs’ needs for optimal energy levels.

Customer Reviews

Julia writes:

I first learned about ZooRing food at an exhibition, decided that I had to try it and took a 2 kg package. All the dogs liked it and ate the test portions with pleasure. Since there were no digestive disorders, I ordered a large 20 kg bag, the price is very good, less than 3800 rubles.
The pets also devoured the big bag; I didn’t notice any difference after switching from the previous food. The dogs' activity, coat condition, digestion - everything is fine. I’m very glad that I decided to try this food, it turned out to be good and didn’t cost a lot of money.

Oksana writes:

Almost finished the first 20 kg bag of ZooRing food with veal and rice. I can say that finally there is normal food from a domestic manufacturer! It’s just a pity that they are sold in few places; even in Moscow I had to go to quite a few pet stores to find this food.
